We were at the lek very early the next morning but never saw any grouse, although we're sure we heard a few cackling to each other. Surprisingly, an adult Bald Eagle was seen flying over the lek area.
We left the lek in the late morning and drove all the way down through Colorado and Albuquerque to Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. There, new trip birds included American White Pelican, Snow Goose, Wood Duck, American Wigeon, Canvasback, Lesser Scaup, Bufflehead, Ruddy Duck, Northern Harrier, Sharp-shinned Hawk, a "Harlan's" Hawk, Ring-necked Pheasant, Say's Phoebe, and Brewer's Blackbird.
